 generating confidence in London's
future both economically and aesthetically

The Guidance also goes on to note that the buildings
should be:

 of the highest architectural quality
commensurate with their purpose and location.

 the ground level should be largely
accessible to the public

 elevations should be varied and interesting

 the tops of tall buildings should
be well articulated

 materials should be appropriate to
their settings

 the surrounding public realm should
be capable of handling pedestrian movement

 wind impact should be within acceptable
limits

The Mayor also offers advice on the important
local views, panoramas and prospects originally raised in the
LPAC advice. The Mayor believes that there are medium distance
views of important buildings such as St Paul's Cathedral that
merit protection. He believes that Boroughs should continue to
identify important local views, panoramas and prospects, and should
when doing so, clearly show the viewing point, object, extent
and role of the view.
